What will Essex do, we asked a little earlier.
Essex have declared on their overnight 457-8 and will bowl at Durham, who trail by 124 runs.
If a couple go down early, get the popcorn ready.
Somehow Worcestershire need to take nine Notts wickets for under 96 runs to keep realistic hopes alive of avoiding relegation.
Notts need a win to challenge Surrey at the top of the table.
But the Pears might have had a few more runs but for a costly error with the bat.
Ethan Brookes had put on 52 precious second-innings runs with Gareth Roderick to revive Worcester from 68-5, but then perished cutting a loose, wide ball to deep cover off Lyndon James.
They lost Matthew Waite first ball LBW and the last three wickets tumbled for 40 runs.
Though Tom Taylor responded immediately with a superb delivery to bowl Hameed in the third over, Notts remain in a good position to pick up their fifth win of the campaign and a valuable 19 points.
If they do so, that cranks the pressure up on Surrey to get a result of their own against Warwickshire at the Oval when the weather allows.
The forecast at Worcester is fair currently but likely to not so great this afternoon.
Notts will need a good start and early momentum.
Kent lead by 215 with five wickets standing but it'll be a while before they get to build on that as the Garden of England has been decidedly soggy this morning and we won't start on time.
Surrey added 95 runs to their lead of 179 in the 21 overs of intermittent action on day three, but lost Ollie Pope for a swashbuckling 78 five balls before the first rain delay of many arrived.
In which case will they try to thrash a quickfire 75-odd with Ben Foakes and Dan Lawrence at the crease?
The innings gap is 54 and Northants skipper Luke Procter has opted against sending out two young bowlers to bat on.
A chance for Glamorgan to try and force a result and close that gap a little on the Division Two leaders Leicestershire?
It is not really in the interests of either of these mid-table teams to suffer a rain-affected draw today, but that may happen.
There was no play at all yesterday and there is only a slim chance of play today - and that will probably be limited to around a single session.
If, however, the weather relents, Sussex need to somehow score another 241 on a pitch that has been a little two-paced and spin friendly more often than not.
Sussex spinners James Coles and Jack Carson took eight wickets between them on this pitch, while Hampshire spinner Bjorn Fortuin managed 4-30 in their first innings.
There was also plenty of seam and bounce for Hampshire's Kyle Abbott and also Sussex and Indian pace bowler Jaydev Unadkat, at least with the new ball.
The weather has done Somerset no favours so far this week as they have sought to maintain their faint hopes of a first Championship title.
Only 129 overs have been bowled over the first three days out of the 298 there should have been.
It is hard therefore to see how they can possibly force a win, barring two Yorkshire collapses, or a contrived finish agreed by the two skippers.
The forecast isn't great, but Yorkshire could do with a batting point or two to ease them further away from the relegation places.
No imminent threat of rain at Chelmsford, Essex have a lead of 124, thanks largely to Dean Elgar's 150 and Matt Critchley's rapid 129, and the key battle has already been won by the hosts, who picked up two bonus points more than Durham to take their lead over the second-bottom visitors to 14 points in the table.
"The wicket’s always had something in it, it’s had something for three days, sideways movement, not much in the air, but off the wicket definitely.
"The wicket is still creating divots which shows a bit of moisture under the grass, so hopefully those things will work in our favour when it’s our time to bowl."
Leicestershire 342 v Gloucestershire 482 & 10-0
Matt Taylor took five wickets for Gloucestershire on day three
Leicestershire began the game needing a maximum of 21 points to be certain of promotion to Division One for next season.
As events have transpired, a draw in this game would only earn them 12 - but that will be enough providing the Middlesex v Derbyshire match ends in the same result.
For Gloucestershire, the need to press for a win is much more important and if they can pull it off, they could be third in the table if the game at Lord's is drawn.
They will resume with a 150-run lead and paceman Ajeet Singh Dale said: "We won’t play reckless cricket but we’ll do what we think we need to with the bat to give ourselves the best chance."
After just 10 overs of play on day three, however events play out at Lord's today, Derbyshire know that next week's home game against second-placed Glamorgan is going to be an absolute must-win.
They began this match against Middlesex three points clear of their opponents, but 24 adrift of the Welsh county.
And assuming we are heading towards a draw, Glamorgan may stretch that advantage with a similar result at Northampton, having earned more bonus points.
Rory Haydon marked his Championship debut with two wickets in Middlesex's first innings and told BBC Radio Derby: "It's very frustrating. We'd have liked a full day's play to try and get ourselves ahead in the game, but that's not been the case."
It was a frustrating on-off, on-off day yesterday and it looks like we are in for more of the same today.
The BBC Weather summary, external says: "A blustery, showery day ahead today. Some downpours will be heavy with a chance of thunderstorms.
"This morning the bulk of the showers will be in the west. This afternoon showers will crop up more widely across the UK."
Yorkshire trail by 424 with 10 wickets standing
Sussex 122 & 37-1 v Hampshire 226 & 173 - no play on day three
Sussex need 241 to win with 9 wickets standing
Worcestershire 182 & 40-1 v Nottinghamshire 207
Notts need another 96 to win with 9 wickets standing
Leicestershire 342 v Gloucestershire 482 & 10-0
Gloucestershire lead by 150 with 10 wickets standing
Derbyshire lead by 18 runs with 9 wickets standing
Northants trail by 54 runs with 1 wicket standing
A day of reckoning beckons for Nottinghamshire today ahead of next week's potential title-deciding showdown with Surrey at The Oval.
If they can score the extra 96 runs they need to beat Worcestershire and Surrey are unable to conjure a win over Warwickshire, the gap between them will be a single point.
In Division Two, Leicestershire have not been at their best but a draw against Gloucestershire could be enough to send them up.
